One of the reasons Lucas was so interested in the toys was that he wanted to create a sandbox world in which kids could create their own stories. That seems like a reasonable and laudable ambition. 

Not everything is a take! It’s just people having opinions, which is not a new thing!

I can’t up-vote you enough. First, the Last Picture Show reference is perfect. Star Wars (even with its political leanings from Lucas) was meant to encapsulate that feeling he had as a kid watching those Buck Rogers serials and the sheer joy of escape when you were ten. Or even younger: I saw Star Wars at five and to…

If there’s one character I hated, it was Abby. Abby was that generation’s version of the misguided millennial. She thought she was so smart, but wasted half her adult life away - and most of it promoting the wrong cause. She puts all that focus on “the gun”, when in reality the gun itself is meaningless. Vincent…

It was almost a relief knowing that after St. Louis fans had themselves a nice day watching their favorite hockey team visit their favorite president ever, that they received a nice, swift kick to the gonads in the form of the Cardinal’s being swept, to bring them back to reality.

The Deuce is good; Treme was far, far better. 

Or to at least just keep playing normally and if he gets it he gets it.  If not so be it 

What the hell is Barnett even doing? Why is he diving head long at a guy stood up to knock him up field. The play is dumb and compounded by this egregious head shot.

I thought this guy was grade a garbage ever since threw furniture over his balcony in a fit of pique and nearly took out a toddler walking on the street.

They won’t even have to change her name for the character! They can even work some corny pun into the title and call it something like Patience is a Virtue and have it be about a skating couple that waits too-long to consummate their obvious hard-ons for each other, then when they finally quit their storied careers…

Which would you really rather have when you grow up?

Sir, I’d like to speak to the manager about your EGREGIOUS rankings on the A-Wing.

I’ve never watched it because I can’t even stand looking at Franco’s face. I’ve never understood the public’s fascination with him. He’s not very funny. He’s not a particularly good serious actor. He gets treated like some savant because he was pursuing a PhD in poetry or something. He appears to keep pretty busy, and…
